Intronis Cloud Backup and Recovery’s Carol Ferrari Recognized by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine as One of the Top Women of the Channel

Intronis, a world class online backup solution, announced today that Carol Ferrari, VP of Marketing and Customer Success has been recognized by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine as one of the top Women of the Channel in 2011. This annual list recognizes female executives for their accomplishments over the past year, based on their achievements as executives and the amount of influence they wield over the technology channel. This year’s Women of the Channel were chosen by the editors of CRN Magazine from a field of vendor channel organizations, distributors and solution providers.

Carol Ferrari’s role at Intronis has been pivotal in the continued engagement with the company’s customers. In her time thus far with Intronis, Carol has launched a channel customer success process, which allows partners to take part in an onboarding program to ensure all partners are utilizing best practices for their Intronis solution. In addition, Carol developed a Networking series which allows potential and current partners to engage with one another not only to learn more about Intronis and its offerings, but hear from Intronis current customers on how the solution is helping them be successful in their business. Carol has also formalized our product launch process for new releases, which is a major communications and training venue that enables our partners to effectively use the Intronis solution in their business.

“This year’s Women of the Channel list honors those female executives who epitomize success within the IT channel – a traditionally male-centric industry. Whether they come from tier-one vendors, VAR500 solution providers or just bring a bevy of channel experience that cannot be ignored, the 2011 Women of the channel list will recognize the most influential women of the channel based on their overall achievements, and their influence in the technology industry,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel.

Carol Ferrari exclaims “I am so honored to have received such great recognition from CRN, and be among this great group of women who were recognized in the Channel as influential and successful executives. Being a part of the Intronis team has allowed me to reach higher in my career goals within the industry. I look forward to doing even more for the channel as well as continuing to be an inspiring role model to other females within the industry.”

A sample of the Women of the Channel list will appear in the July issue of CRN Magazine and expanded coverage will be featured online at www.crn.com.
